Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 1 Categorical Exemption, 15301 Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
The EB Building Seclusion Room Camera/Intercom Project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 1 Categorical Exemption (CEQA Guidelines §?15301), because it consists of minor alterations to an existing facility. The project proposes the installation of a monitored camera and intercom with limited conduit routing, fire-stopped penetrations, and a small ceiling access panel, utilizing interior electrical conveyances with no expansion of use. The work occurs entirely within the existing building footprint and does not trigger any exceptions under §?15300.2. The State confirms that no exceptions apply which would preclude the use of an exemption for this project.
